Debbie took a cab to the airport. She rang Daisy, said she wouldn’t be coming home, and hung up.
She, boarded the plane and was flying away. She would call Daisy when she arrived. Daisy could tell her mother.
Maybe she was the worst person on Earth to ‘abandon’ her mother, but getting a life, before she was too old was her decision.
She realised her brother Ever had cut the cords so early because he knew that once their father was gone, their mother would claim their lives. Ever saw it and ran. Debbie hadn’t seen it and lost fifteen years of her life.
Now Debbie cut the cords and ran.
This could be THE END or it could be the start of something very different. Perhaps a Novella? Nice work, Jaylar.
Thank you. The various stories under the ‘Cutting the Cords’ topic end when the cords are cut.
